First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study aimed to compare several energy-based devices (like lasers and radiofrequency) for skin rejuvenation on the face, hands, and other areas. It enrolled 24 adults with signs of skin aging. The trial was terminated early, so the planned comparison of effectiveness and side effects was not completed.
